Participants

Reaction Steps

(3R,4S)-4-(1-Ethoxycarbonylcyclopropyl)-3-methyl-1-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]-2-pyrrolidone (1.85 g, 5.87 mmol) was dissolved in benzene (100 ml), and the solution was mixed with Lawesson's reagent (1.31 g, 3.24 mmol) and heated under reflux for 20 minutes. After completing the reaction, the solvent was evaporated and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (silica gel, 160 ml; ethyl acetate:hexane=1:4), to thereby obtain 1.80 g (92%) of the title compound.
